What does 97w mean on a tire?
1 Answers
Tire 97w refers to the load index of the tire, where 'w' represents the speed rating of the tire. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface and working in conjunction with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road, and improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities. Precautions for using car tires include: 1. Pay attention to the degree of tread wear; 2. Avoid excessively high or low tire pressure; 3. Remove debris from the tread to prevent punctures that could lead to air leaks or blowouts; 4. Regularly rotate tires to prevent uneven wear.
